Motor Impairment and Its Influence in Gait Velocity and Asymmetry in Community Ambulating Hemiplegic Individuals.

Objectives: To determine the most important motor impairments that are predictors of gait velocity and spatiotemporal symmetrical ratio in patients with stroke.

Design: Cross-sectional, descriptive analysis study.

Setting: Human performance laboratory of the University of Santo Tomas.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Ultrasound Parameters in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Additional Criteria for Diagnosis.

Objectives: To determine the diagnostic capacity of ultrasound (US) in detecting carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

Methods: Volunteer adults with and without CTS symptoms were recruited from offices in metropolitan Manila, where employees' work was hand/wrist intensive. Carpal tunnel syndrome was independently diagnosed by a reference standard (positive findings on a physical examination and nerve conduction studies).
